Motion No. DSC150401 -16
Moved by Crawford, Seconded by Coutanche

Motion No. DSC150401 -17
Moved by Jermey, Seconded by Crawford
Whereas farmland in Ontario is being lost at a rate of 350 acres every day.
Whereas less than 5 per cent of the Province of Ontario is suitable for food production.
Whereas in the Township of Oro - Medonte Official Plan section A 2.4.1 states "It is the goal
of this Plan to preserve areas demonstrating high capability for agricultural production for
that purpose."
Whereas the Provincial Policy Statement in section 2.3.1 states "Prime agricultural areas
shall be protected for long -term use for agriculture."
Whereas the Township of Oro - Medonte contains large areas of both prime and nonprime
agricultural land.
Therefore, the Development Services Committee recommends to Council that the
Corporation of the Township of Oro - Medonte cease to develop any prime agricultural land
for non - agricultural municipal uses, excluding waterlines, sewers and roads and also
where no reasonable alternative can be found, a net benefit study be conducted to justify
the necessity of using prime farmland and to verify that the area of farmland being taken
out of production is required and no excess land is wasted.
Deferred.
